MaxLinear and Los Alamos National Laboratory Jointly Advance High-Performance File System Acceleration for HPC StorageJune 3, 2026 8:35 AM
Business Wire Pioneering Hardware-Accelerated ZFS to Improve Throughput, Efficiency, and Scalability in HPC Storage MaxLinear, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXL), a leading provider of high-performance storage accelerator SoCs, and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) today announced a collaboration to enable hardware-accelerated OpenZFS File System storage for large scale, high-performance computing (HPC) environments. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260603338003/en/MaxLinear and Los Alamos National Laboratory collaborate on hardware-accelerated OpenZFS storage using Panther™ Storage Accelerator SoCs for HPC environments. Los Alamos National Laboratory and MaxLinear have jointly developed a hardware-accelerated OpenZFS storage architecture designed to improve performance and storage capacity for next-generation NVMe flash-based storage infrastructure. “Los Alamos’ Direct I/O support and Z.I.A. (ZFS Interface for Accelerators) work were developed to accelerate performance for the ZFS-using community,” said Gary Grider, Senior Director for Computing Technologies at the Laboratory. “In this collaboration, MaxLinear demonstrated hardware-offloaded ZFS operations with reported speedups of approximately 39x for writes and 7x for reads. These results illustrate the potential for accelerator-based approaches to reduce host CPU involvement while maintaining the data-protection benefits associated with ZFS.” “Los Alamos National Laboratory has been at the forefront of advancing storage architectures for high-performance computing,” said Vikas Choudhary, Executive Vice President of Connectivity & Storage at MaxLinear. “By enabling hardware-accelerated ZFS with Panther™ Storage Accelerators, we deliver deep data compression, data protection services, and multi-hundred gigabit scalability—while preserving the data integrity guarantees that ZFS is known for.” LANL has decades of experience in operating ZFS at scale and has led to the development of key filesystem extensions, including Direct I/O support and ZIA (ZFS Interface for Accelerators)—a structured framework for introducing hardware acceleration into the ZFS data path without modifying core filesystem semantics. MaxLinear contributes the Panther™ family of Storage Accelerator SoCs and Storage Software Development Kits, providing high throughput, low latency execution of ZFS data path services using a domain-specific high-performance SoC architecture. Panther™ provides deep data compression, encryption, deduplication, and data protection services executed inline in hardware, delivering high throughput and low latency while significantly reducing host CPU overhead. Through this collaboration, Panther is integrated with ZFS as a Data Processing Unit Services Module (DPUSM) provider, enabling inline hardware acceleration of selected CPU-intensive operations such as data compression and checksum generation to increase storage capacity, improve file I/O performance, and reduce host CPU utilization. This combined hardware-software approach preserves ZFS ordering, consistency, and data integrity guarantees while enabling efficient compute offload and scalable acceleration. This collaboration integrates LANL’s advancement in Direct I/O and ZIA framework with MaxLinear’s Panther™ Storage Accelerator. Key capabilities include: Hardware-assisted ZFS services enabling deep data compression: Offload compression reduces host CPU involvement on high throughput I/O paths, enabling high I/O performance with minimal impact on CPU utilization. Scalable accelerator integration: Multiple Panther™ Storage Accelerators can be deployed in parallel through ZIA, enabling scalable performance without introducing serialization or centralized bottlenecks. High bandwidth operation: Achieved for the first time 57 GB/s read, and 47 GB/s write with GZIP L9 at ~1.3:1 compression, representative of high-entropy scientific data. Achieving this compression requires compute intensive algorithms like GZIP. Without Panther™, ZFS is limited to ~1.2 GB/s writes and 8.1 GB/s reads—delivering ~39x write and ~7x read speedup via hardware offload. Scales further with additional accelerators.

Trinity combines the URX850 SoC with a purpose-built cloud-native API framework that seamlessly integrates with MaxLinear’s millimeter and microwave modems. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260514326305/en/MaxLinear's highly integrated Trinity platform for cloud-managed, AI-enabled 5G wireless backhaul delivers carrier-grade, bi-directional backhaul up to 10GBps Designed for the next generation of intelligent networks, Trinity enables cloud-managed, AI-optimized backhaul infrastructure, helping operators expand 5G coverage while lowering deployment and operational costs through automation and real-time network intelligence. Wireless backhaul is the critical link connecting cell towers and radios to the core network. As global mobile data demand surges and 5G expands into underserved areas, operators require wireless backhaul solutions that are not only simpler to deploy, but also more cost-effective and autonomously managed. Traditional approaches require manual provisioning and limited visibility, slowing deployments and increasing costs, particularly in markets with constrained Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). Industry analysts project strong growth for millimeter wave technology as 5G networks densify and the demand for high-capacity wireless backhaul increases. The global millimeter wave technology market is expected to grow from approximately $3 billion in 2024 to more than $7 billion by 2029, representing about 20% annual growth, driven in part by the need for scalable, cloud-managed, and AI-enabled telecom infrastructure. The Trinity Platform: A Highly Integrated, Carrier-Grade Solution URX processors are already deployed globally across major carrier networks. Building on the robustness of the URX platform with architectural advancements, MaxLinear’s Trinity platform integrates multiple backhaul functions into a single URX850 chip, significantly reducing radio system complexity, cost and power consumption. Reinforcing MaxLinear’s commitment to open standards, Trinity supports Open Compute Project (OCP) Switch Abstraction Interface (SAI) enabling seamless migration from legacy systems into software-defined, cloud-managed networks. Together, these advances strongly position MaxLinear as a key technological partner for operators in the rollout of next-generation wireless backhaul deployments. “We are excited about the capabilities of the Trinity platform, which reflect MaxLinear’s leadership in highly integrated system-on-chip solutions for wireless backhaul,” said Puneet Sethi, SVP & GM of MaxLinear’s Network Infrastructure and Carrier Business Unit. “Leveraging URX’s built-in AI acceleration and Trinity SAI API, our OEM customers can now deliver highly differentiated 10Gbps microwave and E band radio systems that enable smarter and with cost savings up to 50%” What It Means for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) By utilizing the Trinity platform, equipment manufacturers can accelerate the design and delivery of more capable backhaul radios, with: Reduced cost and power consumption: Savings of up to 50% on relevant parts, plus increased power savings for greener operations.

MaxLinear Showcases Panther to Accelerate AI Inference and Data Movement Efficiency in Datacenters at Dell Tech World ‘26May 5, 2026 8:35 AM
Business Wire Purpose-built silicon platform addressing data-movement bottlenecks as AI inference shifts to real-time, revenue-generating workloads MaxLinear, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXL), a leading provider of high-performance connectivity and data movement solutions, today announced that it is showcasing Panther V, the latest generation of its storage accelerator platform, at Dell Technologies World 2026, May 18–21, at The Venetian, Las Vegas (Booth 204). This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260505801716/en/MaxLinear Panther ?V accelerates AI inference efficiency by reducing data-movement bottlenecks in data centers Panther V addresses one of the most critical constraints emerging in large-scale AI inference data centers: the cost, latency, and inefficiency of data movement across storage, memory, and compute. As AI workloads transition from experimental pilots to persistent, production-scale inference, system performance is increasingly constrained by how efficiently data is staged, prepared, and activated for inference. Optimized for AI Inference and Time-to-First-Token (TTFT) Panther V reduces end-to-end latency and improves responsiveness and throughput for modern AI inference by tightly coupling CPU, accelerator, and GPU resources to keep data moving efficiently through the system. Inline execution of data transformation, compression, encryption, and integrity operations eliminates unnecessary CPU involvement and memory round-trips, reducing GPU idle time and accelerating time-to-first-token while freeing up host CPUs to focus on model execution and coordination. As agentic inference grows and workloads become increasingly latency-sensitive, Panther-based accelerators enable the same CPUs and GPUs to support many more simultaneous inference agents. This improves utilization, scalability, and overall system efficiency for interactive, real-time AI services. Built for Today’s Inference-Dominated Workloads As AI inference becomes the primary driver of production AI deployments, Panther V is purpose-built to support the most demanding inference scenarios, including: Low-latency inference, where fast TTFT is essential for conversational AI and real-time applications Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), accelerating document retrieval and preparation from enterprise data stores KV-cache-intensive inference, enabling reuse of pre-fill-stage key-value data across users and agents without impacting GPU hot-path performance By accelerating compression, decompression, encryption, and integrity validation in silicon, Panther V enables smaller, verified data to move faster through storage, memory, and network fabrics, which improves inference economics without increasing power or infrastructure cost. Key Panther V Capabilities Panther V combines scalable performance, deep CPU offload, and advanced security and integrity acceleration to enable efficient, high-concurrency AI inference at scale. Scalable Performance: Supports system architectures exceeding 6Tbps, delivering up to 450Gbps per accelerator CPU Offload: Dedicated hardware engines perform single-pass compression, encryption, and checksum processing entirely in silicon, avoiding multiple PCIe pass-throughs Advanced Accelerations: GZIP, Zlib, Deflate, XP10, AES encryption (ECB, CBC, CTR, XTS, GCM), and SHA-1/2 hashing and checksums Data Integrity: Real-time, end-to-end verification with CRC validation and NVMe T10 DIF/DIX support Software Flexibility: SDK supporting synchronous and asynchronous APIs, kernel and user space, NUMA-aware queues, and peer-to-peer DMA ZFlush™ for OpenZFS: A hardware-accelerated OpenZFS implementation that integrates seamlessly with Panther V to improve file-system performance Industry-Standard Form Factors: Available in PCIe and OCP NIC 3.0 configurations Powering the Economics of AI Data Centers The AI inference market is expanding rapidly, with sustained double-digit growth projected into the early 2030s. As inference becomes persistent and monetized, infrastructure buyers are prioritizing system efficiency, power optimization, and time-to-value over peak compute metrics alone. Panther V enables data center operators to scale inference concurrency, support longer context windows, and deliver faster user experiences without linear increases in cost or power consumption. “AI inference is rapidly becoming a real-time, revenue-generating workload, and data movement, not compute, is emerging as the primary system bottleneck,” said Vikas Choudhary, SVP & GM of the Connectivity and Storage Business at MaxLinear. “By accelerating faster node bring-up, growing context sizes, and KV-cache compression, Panther V enables more efficient and low latency inference pipelines along with scalable AI inference economics. We believe that the size of the serviceable market for purpose-built silicon accelerator solutions, such as Panther V, is approximately $5 billion.” MaxLinear representatives will be on site at Dell Technologies World 2026, May 18–21, at Booth 204, to discuss how Panther V supports scalable AI inference, RAG architectures, and next-generation data center platforms About MaxLinear, Inc.

MaxLinear Unveils Annapurna 224G Scale-Up Retimer to Extend Copper Connectivity in AI Data CentersMarch 16, 2026 8:35 AM
Business Wire

Advanced DSP enables power- and cost-efficient electrical scale-up networking for AEC and on-board retimer applications, complementing optical interconnects in optimized AI infrastructure.



MaxLinear, Inc. (Nasdaq: MXL), a leading provider of high-speed interconnect ICs for data center, metro, and wireless transport networks, today announced Annapurna, a high-performance scale-up retimer delivering up to 1.6Tbps of electrical connectivity. Annapurna enables copper backplanes and Active Electrical Cables (AECs) to operate reliably at 224Gbps per lane using PAM4 signaling, allowing system architects to deploy electrical solutions where they deliver the greatest power, latency, and cost advantages.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260316901179/en/New 224G DSP for scale-up retimers and active electrical cables from MaxLinear
Enabling Hybrid Optical and Electrical AI Architectures


As AI training clusters transition to 224G per lane signaling, data center operators must carefully balance bandwidth, power, cost, and reach. Optical interconnects remain essential for scale-out networking and longer distances, while electrical connectivity continues to offer compelling advantages for scale-up networking within and between racks.


At 224G per lane, however, traditional copper channels face significant physical constraints. Attenuation, return loss at interfaces, and impairments caused by skin-effect resistance, copper roughness, and inter-symbol interference limit reliable reach without advanced signal processing. These challenges can force sub-optimal usage of GPU and switch tray real estate given the need for placement of chips close to the backplane.


For large-scale GPU fabrics supporting synchronous AI training, maintaining electrical connectivity delivers meaningful benefits. Compared to optical transceivers, copper interconnects consume significantly less power per bit, introduce lower latency, and reduce overall system complexity. These factors become increasingly important as rack-scale AI systems push power density limits.


“Modern AI infrastructure increasingly relies on a hybrid approach that deploys optical and electrical connectivity where each provides maximum value,” said Rajneesh Gaur, Senior VP & GM, Data Center Connectivity Business Unit, MaxLinear. “Within a data center, optical excels at longer reaches for scale-out networks, while copper remains highly attractive for scale-up networking if signal integrity challenges at 224G per lane can be addressed. Annapurna delivers the signal processing required to keep electrical connectivity viable at these speeds.”


Annapurna: Extending Copper to 224G


The Annapurna Scale-Up Retimer incorporates advanced adaptive equalization, transmit pre-emphasis, and proprietary DSP algorithms to overcome electrical channel impairments at 224G per lane. These capabilities enable robust copper-based connectivity over distances that previously required optical solutions.


Available in eight- and sixteen-lane configurations, Annapurna supports 1.6Tbps and 3.2Tbps applications optimized for AEC and on-board retimer deployments. The device delivers ultra-low latency for GPU-to-GPU synchronization and high power efficiency, helping AI architects maximize performance while operating within strict power envelopes.


By extending copper’s operational envelope to 224G data rates, Annapurna complements MaxLinear’s optical DSP portfolio and supports emerging scale-up protocols including ESUN, UALink, and Ultra Ethernet. This provides customers with the flexibility to deploy the most appropriate interconnect technology for each segment of the AI fabric.


The volume for AEC and on-board copper retimers is expected to be 30 million units in 2029 according to LightCounting Research. Annapurna enables MaxLinear to capitalize on this opportunity to be able to increase its revenue.


Industry Endorsements


“As we architect our SkyHammer scale-up fabric, electrical connectivity at 224G per lane is fundamental,” said Aravind Srikumar, SVP, Product & Marketing, Upscale.AI. “Our systems demand deterministic latency, guaranteed bandwidth, and strict power efficiency. Annapurna is an important enabler for signal integrity across our rack-scale AI systems.”


“Advanced electrical DSPs like Annapurna allow copper to remain competitive at 224G, preserving power and cost advantages where they matter most,” said Bob Wheeler, Analyst at Large, LightCounting Market Research. “MaxLinear’s portfolio spanning both electrical and optical technologies positions the company for growth in the dynamic market for high-speed interconnects.”

MaxLinear to Present FDD Massive MIMO Innovation at MWC Barcelona 2026February 26, 2026 8:35 AM
Business Wire

Sierra single-chip radio SoC enables scalable FDD Massive MIMO with on-chip high-performance PIM cancellation



MaxLinear, Inc. (Nasdaq: MXL), a leading provider of wireless infrastructure solutions, today announced that it will demonstrate its newest advancements in RAN radio technologies at MWC Barcelona 2026. Attendees visiting meeting room 2L8MR in Hall 2 will see demonstrations of how MaxLinear’s Sierra single-chip radio SoC helps OEMs develop new innovative Open RAN Radio Units (O-RUs) addressing the key challenges faced by Mobile Network Operators (MNO). MaxLinear will showcase how Sierra’s embedded Passive Intermodulation (PIM) cancellation technology enables development of smaller and lighter Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) Massive MIMO O-RUs as well as several new highly compact and power-efficient O-RUs powered by Sierra.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260226557346/en/Sierra Radio SoC Enables FDD mMIMO with Embedded Active PIM Cancellation
Uplink traffic is rapidly becoming the next major network bottleneck as user behavior shifts toward high-bandwidth uploads such as live video and social content. MNOs are pursuing FDD Massive MIMO as a targeted way to address uplink-constrained networks. However, FDD Massive MIMO radio unit size, weight, and cost have remained key barriers to deployment.


“Uplink traffic is growing faster than downlink traffic and will accelerate in the era of Physical AI. There’s a strong need for uplink capacity in the critical low bands where FDD mMIMO can make all kinds of devices work better. This integration makes FDD Massive MIMO more practical for real-world upgrades,” said Joe Madden, Principal Analyst at Mobile Experts.


Sierra helps address these challenges at the architecture level with embedded PIM cancellation. In FDD systems, downlink transmission generates PIM products that fall directly into the uplink receive band and reduce receiver throughput. Traditional FDD systems use high performance cavity filters to minimize PIM effects, but these filters are large, heavy, and expensive. By being able to cancel up to 20dB of PIM on each receive path with advanced signal processing, Sierra enables the use of smaller, lighter and cheaper ceramic filters instead of bulky cavity filters.


“Uplink demand is rising faster than network capacity, driving operators to look at FDD Massive MIMO as a practical way to relieve uplink congestion. But OEMs are challenged to deliver that capability without excessive cost and complexity,” said Puneet Sethi, Senior Vice President of MaxLinear’s Network Infrastructure & Carrier BU. “Sierra is already a proven carrier grade solution for single- and multi-band macro radio units. Now, by using PIM cancellation to eliminate the need for bulky cavity filters, Sierra is enabling OEMs to build simpler, lighter FDD Massive MIMO radios that operators can deploy at scale to address the uplink demand challenge.”


At Mobile World Congress, MaxLinear will demonstrate these capabilities live, highlighting Sierra’s PIM cancellation performance and showcasing multiple Sierra-driven radios. The demonstrations will take place in Hall 2, meeting room 2L8MR.

We are executing against a focused strategy that is working and will drive sustained strong growth even as we continue to invest in high-value, multi-year growth markets where performance, power efficiency, and integration matter most. These include data center connectivity, wireless infrastructure, PON broadband access, Wi-Fi 7, Ethernet, and storage accelerator end markets. With solid execution, we also delivered profitability and positive free cash flow ahead of our plan. During the fourth quarter, we repurchased $20 million of our common stock, reflecting our confidence in our sustained growth expectations and market momentum.”

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements


This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements concerning our future financial performance (including our current guidance for first quarter 2026, including net revenue and GAAP and non-GAAP amounts for each of the following: gross margins, operating expenses, interest and other expenses, income tax provision (benefit), and diluted share counts); our potential growth and expansion, our ability to continue to grow our revenues and profitability; statements regarding our ability to broaden customer traction; statements related to new and increased content opportunities; settlement of bonus awards for our 2025 performance period; statements related to growth trends in the markets in which we operate; and statements by our Chairman and CEO. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and our future financial performance and operating results forecasts generally. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current, preliminary expectations and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. In particular, our future operating results are substantially dependent on our assumptions about market trends and conditions. Additional risks and uncertainties affecting our business, future operating results and financial condition include, without limitation, risks relating to: our terminated merger with Silicon Motion and related arbitration and class action complaint and the risks related to potential payment of damages; the effect of intense and increasing competition; increased tariffs, export controls or imposition of other trade barriers; impacts of global economic conditions; the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry; a significant variance in our operating results and impact on volatility in our stock price, and our ability to sustain our current level of revenue, which has previously declined, and/or manage future growth effectively, and the impact of excess inventory in the channel on our customers’ expected demand for certain of our products and on our revenue; escalating trade wars, military conflicts and other geopolitical and economic tensions among the countries in which we conduct business; international geopolitical and military conflicts; our ability to obtain or retain government authorization to export certain of our products or technology; the loss of, or a significant reduction in orders from major customers; legal proceedings or potential violations of regulations; information technology failures; a decrease in the average selling prices of our products; failure to penetrate new applications and markets; development delays and consolidation trends in our industry; inability to make substantial and productive research and development investments; delays or expenses caused by undetected defects or bugs in our products; substantial quarterly and annual fluctuations in our revenue and operating results; failure to timely develop and introduce new or enhanced products; order and shipment uncertainties and differences between our estimates of customer demand and product mix and our actual results; failure to accurately predict our future revenue and appropriately budget expenses; lengthy and expensive customer qualification processes; customer product plan cancellations; failure to maintain compliance with government regulations; failure to attract and retain qualified personnel; any adverse impact of rising interest rates on us, our customers, and our distributors and related demand; risks related to compliance with privacy, data protection and cybersecurity laws and regulations; risks related to conforming our products to industry standards; risks related to business acquisitions and investments; claims of intellectual property infringement; our ability to protect our intellectual property; security vulnerabilities of our products; use of open source software in our products; failure to manage our relationships with, or negative impacts from, third parties; and future decisions relating to our stock repurchase program.


In addition to these risks and uncertainties, investors should review the risks and uncertainties contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Current Reports on Form 8-K, as well as the information to be set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" in MaxLinear's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. All forward-looking statements are based on the estimates, projections and assumptions of management as of January 29, 2026, and MaxLinear is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any such obligation) to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.


Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures


To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as percentage of revenue, non-GAAP income (loss) before income taxes, non-GAAP interest and other income (expense), non-GAAP income tax provision, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, and non-GAAP diluted share count. These supplemental measures exclude the effects of (i) stock-based compensation expense; (ii) accruals related to our performance-based bonus plan for 2025, which we intend to settle in shares of our common stock; (iii) accruals related to our performance-based bonus plan for 2024, which we settled in shares of common stock in February 2025; (iv) amortization of purchased intangible assets; (v) research and development funded by others; (vi) acquisition and integration costs related to our acquisitions, if any, including costs incurred related to the termination of the previously pending (now terminated) merger with Silicon Motion; (vii) impairment losses; (viii) severance and other restructuring charges; (ix) other non-recurring interest and other income (expenses), net, attributable to acquisitions; and (x) non-cash income tax benefits and expenses. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to limitations and should be read only in conjunction with the company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our GAAP results of operations. We compensate for the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance.


We believe that non-GAAP financial measures can provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain non-cash and other one-time expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. Among other uses, our management uses non-GAAP measures to compare our performance relative to forecasts and strategic plans and to benchmark our performance externally against competitors. In addition, management’s incentive compensation will be determined in part using these non-GAAP measures because we believe non-GAAP measures better reflect our core operating performance.


The following are explanations of each type of adjustment that we incorporate into non-GAAP financial measures:


Stock-based compensation expense relates to equity incentive awards granted to our employees, directors, and consultants. Our equity incentive plans are important components of our employee incentive compensation arrangements and are reflected as expenses in our GAAP results. Stock-based compensation expense has been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense for MaxLinear. While we include the dilutive impact of equity awards in weighted average shares outstanding, the expense associated with stock-based awards reflects a non-cash charge that we exclude from non-GAAP net income or loss.


Performance-based equity consists of accruals related to our executive and non-executive bonus programs and have been excluded from our non-GAAP net income or loss for all periods reported. Bonus payments for the 2024 performance periods were settled through the issuance of shares of common stock under our equity incentive plans in February 2025. We currently expect that a substantial portion of bonus awards under our fiscal 2025 program will be settled in common stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.


Expenses incurred in relation to acquisitions include amortization of purchased intangible assets and acquisition and integration costs primarily consisting of professional and consulting fees, including costs incurred related to the termination of the previously pending (now terminated) merger with Silicon Motion.


Research and development funded by others represents proceeds received under contracts for jointly funded R&D projects to develop technology that may be commercialized into a product in the future. Initially such proceeds may not yet be recognized in GAAP results if, pursuant to contract terms, the Company may be required to repay all or a portion of the funds provided by the other party under certain conditions. Management believes it is not probable that it will trigger such conditions. Once such conditions have been resolved, the proceeds are recognized in GAAP results, and accordingly, reversed from non-GAAP results.


Restructuring charges incurred are related to our restructuring plans which eliminate redundancies and primarily include severance and restructuring costs related to impairment of leased right-of-use assets or from exiting certain facilities and cancellation of contracts.


Other expense includes accretion of discounts on obligations recorded as a result of abandoned leased facilities for which we continue to be obligated to pay but from which we will receive no future benefit.


Income tax benefits and expense adjustments are those that do not affect cash income taxes payable.


Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures for the historic periods disclosed in this press release appear below. Because of the inherent uncertainty associated with our ability to project future charges, we are also unable to predict their probable significance, particularly related to stock-based compensation and its related tax effects as well as potential impairments, a quantitative reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts and accordingly, in reliance on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, we have not provided a reconciliation for non-GAAP guidance provided for the first quarter 2026.
